For one point: What is this, and who designed and built it?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

More or less equally famous, but not as a kustomizer

I don't know about the car, but are those Grebel headlamps from the 1920s, or at least copies of them?

This is a street rod built by Brooks Stevens and his son at the original Excalibur factory in Wisconsin.
Frame was a then-new Studebaker frame, with a modified prewar Oldsmobile sedan body. The current engine is a first-series Chevrolet big block LS-6, which must have been installed after the 1965-66 build date.
EDIT:The headlights are listed as being Marchant.
